If you tried transferring, and you typed the command like you typed in in
your message below, there is no space in the command of evmove. Go to your
floppy with your quthorization disk in place, and type "evmove c: a:"
without the quotes. Your key only goes on the c: drive.
Xcopy is no good for copying windows and some windows related files, I
recently started using ghost, and it works fine, and some people like
seagate backup, but I have never tried that.
